Saving Games

Save your game by pausing (SPACE) then clicking on a File position to save. You can keep up to 3 different files saved at once. You should save often, because the game has no continue option. If you lose all of your lives your only options are to either load a saved game or start over from the beginning!

Life Bar

Life bar indicates how much life you have left. When you are hit by spikes, enemies, etc. your life bar will go down. Collecting hearts increase your life. The “x5” shows how many lives you have left. When they’re all gone it’s game over!

Tips

Here are a few tips and tricks to help you in Loa and the Island Quest.

Running in Mid-Air

You can hold the Z key to run while you’re in the middle of a jump. You can use this to jump farther and faster, as well as to quickly change direction in mid-air!

Loading Saved Games

Save your game often! When you die, your only options are to load a saved game or start over from the beginning. If you forgot to save your game you're out of luck.

When you load a saved game, you’ll start out again with the same number of lives you had when you saved. For example, if you save with only one life left, you’ll start out with only one life left when you load again.

Interacting With Your Environment

Think of creative ways to interact with your environment. For example, sometimes your shield can be used to bounce or push things away…
